While Love Island All Stars may have ended, crowning Molly Smith and Tom Clare the winners, we still can't get enough of the gorgeous outfits the former Islanders are sporting, even upon their return home from the South African Villa. Having freshly arrived back in the UK, we spotted Arabella Chi wearing a 'beautiful' stone coloured dress from PrettyLittleThing with some knee high boots and it's safe to say we were in love with this outfit.
The PLT Label Light Taupe Tie Side Detail Blazer Dress is the perfect style for an office to 'out out' transition with its blazer style cut and classic taupe colouring. Costing £62, the dress features a buckle detail side tie fastening and a layered effect that gives it a trench-coat style finish, which is gorgeous for both day and night time events.
She paired the look with some patent black knee-high boots with a gorgeous chunky sole that look very similar to these from Public Desire (£39.99) and complimented her long legs.

It's no wonder the PrettyLittleThing dress sported by the 32-year-old model was marvelled at by her fans shortly after she posted a series of pictures of her in it on Instagram.

She captioned the picture: "A day filled with family , friends and a lot of love. Lucky to be surrounded by such precious people", and it wasn't long before her followers begged to know where her look - which, of course, was completed with her Arabella necklace - was from.
One fan said: "Where’s your dress from," followed by a love heart eye emoji, while another stated: "Uhh gorgeous as always."
A third exclaimed: "I need this dress!" before one other simply said: "You look amazing."
We couldn't agree more! Especially going into springtime, this look is going to be perfect for special occasions and casual affairs that call for a smarter-than-jeans dress code. And if you're not much of a fan of the buckle side fastening on this particular dress, or the low V-neckline, we've found a few alternatives that'll help you channel your inner Arabella and leave you looking chic and glamorous.
If you're after a tie waist but can't quite justify spending over £60, this oversized tie waist detail wool look blazer dress in stone from Ego, £44, features slighted fluted sleeves and a belted tie for a more secure look or this double-breasted blazer dress from H&M is a classic blazer fit if you want to have a look that's more relaxed and less cinched in at the waist. For £34.99, many shoppers have said the oyster-coloured garment can double up as both a dress and an oversized blazer over trousers, so you've got yourself a two-in-one.
Arabella's dress - that can be bought in both taupe and black - from PrettyLittleThing can be bought for £62 here if you wish to take inspiration directly from the Love Islander herself.
